Teaching Practices Of Science And Technology In Primary Schools

This study, whose subject is 'Teaching practices of sciences and technologies in elementary school: Case of electricity in CM2 class' consists in improving the teaching practices in use in the teaching of electricity in CM2 class. To this end, it postulates that teaching practices in science and technology have a negative impact on the learning of electricity in CM2. To verify this assumption, an interview was conducted (using an interview guide) with 10 teachers randomly selected from the three pedagogical sectors of the Abengourou district. The results show that the years of professional experience of the teachers interviewed cannot be a factor in improving teaching practices during electricity class sessions. The teaching practices as well as the quality of learning in science and technology are functions of the availability or not of didactic materials. Thus, according to the results, in the absence of teaching materials, all teachers proceed in the same way. They resort to theory and not to practice.
